What process do you have at your institution to schedule Postpartum Visits (6wk appointment) while the patient is still “inpatient”? And do you have an audit process where you can track success/failure?

Not sure that this really answers your question, but still information that’s worth sharing…We have a “nurse navigator” who does our discharge teaching with all of our patients and will call and schedule follow up appointments for BP checks if needed. I don’t believe she calls for all postpartum visits though. No audit processes that I’m aware of.
Our secretary’s schedule the follow-up appointment prior to the pt. being discharged for both mom and baby.
We don’t have a process for regular postpartum follow-up visits for our patients but individual provider offices have different protocols (some they have to call and some have a person at the office reach out to the patient). No audit process.
